We had a good day but I think thats due to it always being good to be out of the office and spend a couple of hours talking to genuine gunsmiths - particularly whilst sitting in Wetherspoons! Nice to see have a stroll around and catch up with mates we’ve not seen for a while and have a look at all the various types of rifles and shooting systems.
But sadly I have to agree with Mach 1.5, if you’re there to buy anything (especially a decent quality, second-hand air rifle), you’ll have a wasted trip. There were tons of identical looking shotguns, if that’s your thing...
Cottage industries and custom houses really do seem to be a thing of the past and for me, looking at their various takes on established rifles and making not such established rifles desirable, used to make these shows worth going to. Perhaps they’ll reinvent themselves one day, I hope so.
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation
